$350,000 Bond For Man in Attempted Robbery
PEORIA, Ill. (AP) -- A Peoria County judge has set bond at $350,000 for a Macomb man who allegedly held a knife to a woman's throat on the Bradley University campus as he unsuccessfully tried to rob her and her friend.

The defendant, 29 year old Matthew Cummings appeared in court Friday on two counts of attempted armed robbery.

Assistant State's Attorney Steve Pattelli told the (Peoria) Journal Star that the women said the women told police the man rode up on a bicycle Thursday, demanded money and threatened them with the knife.

Pattelli said he sought the high bond because Cummings had just appeared in court Thursday to be arraigned on a felony drug charge.
